Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3, since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, hence

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x- intercepts at (- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

-2(3x-1)<8 on a number line

Answer:

Checkout the image below the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's solve the inequality.

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

$-6x + 2 < 8$

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

$-6x + 2 - 2 < 8 - 2$
$-6x < 6$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -6 and flip the sign.

$\frac{-6x}{-6} < \frac{6}{-6}$
$x > -1$

2. Now that we solved the inequality and got x > -1, that means that all values of x are more than -1. It can be represented on the number-line as this:
